Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing explosive new allegations in his federal sex trafficking trial, with a former assistant testifying Thursday that the music mogul violently ejected her from his home while she was bleeding and in desperate need of a tampon.
The assistant, who testified under the alias “Mia,” described a pattern of physical and psychological abuse while working for Combs, including one incident in which she was chased barefoot from his home, bleeding through her clothing.
“He screamed at me to get out,” Mia told the jury. “I was bleeding down my leg, so I asked to change my tampon. He threw a bowl of spaghetti at me and chased me away.”
According to her testimony, the situation escalated when Combs became enraged when she informed him that she needed to change her tampon and would be unable to complete a task immediately.
Mia claimed she fled the house without shoes and hid in a bush before heading to a hotel.
The incident was one of several disturbing events Mia described during Thursday’s proceedings.
She also claimed that Combs hit her with a computer, pushed her into a pool, and slammed her arms against a door on multiple occasions.
During one altercation inside a trailer, Mia claims Combs threw a computer at her head in front of producer Swizz Beatz.
She testified that he became enraged after she joked about having to call Bill Gates when a Wi-Fi problem arose. “He barely missed my head,” she explained.
She also described an incident in Turks and Caicos in which Combs allegedly dumped a bucket of ice on her before throwing her into a pool while she attempted to retrieve her phone.
She claimed she was concerned he would read private messages about his erratic behavior.
In another episode, Mia stated that Combs had locked himself in a bathroom at the Revolt TV offices with her phone.
When she tried to retrieve it, she claims he slammed the door on her arm, leaving visible bruises.
Mia testified that she was later suspended without pay on Combs’ orders.
She also claimed he sent compromising photos of her to his phone, which she saw as an attempt at intimidation. “He was lying,” she explained. “Those photos didn’t exist.”
Combs has pleaded not guilty to federal charges involving sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. If convicted, he may face life in prison.
His legal team has previously dismissed all allegations as “meritless” and “manufactured for attention and financial gain.”
Testimony in the case is expected to continue into next week.
